How can I use my Android Tablet as a secondary display?

Hi,

You can do this if you have an Android 3.0 and above, a PC/ laptop that is running Windows XP or 7 and a common network to connect to.

Next thing to do is download an application that lets you do this capability. The most cost-friendly is the Redfly Screenslider at $1. There’s also Air Display and i Display which cost a bit higher.

Download your preferred app from Google Play.

You will also have to download the companion app to your PC.

Considering your devices are now connected to both networks, the companion app from the PC should start locating the tablet. Look for the option that allows you to do that.

Upon selecting your tablet from your PC, there should be a PIN that will appear which you will have to key in through the same app in your tablet.

Once this is successfully done, you can now use your tablet as a second PC.

Good Luck!

Yes, it is possible. You can turn your Android tablet into a second monitor for your desktop computer with the help of an Android app called iDisplay. And it is not only limited to Android tablets. You can also use it on your Android Smartphone making it also as an extension to your monitor.

iDisplay converts your Android Smartphone and tablet PC into extra display for your computer running either on Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X. This is a wonderful tool for multitask users to boost their personal productivity by simply extending your computer screen. To use your tablet PC as an extension to your computer, you can select either USB or Wi-Fi connections.

It lets you select which connection is convenient for you. The application also allows you to interact with your extended display. It lets you move objects, control playback, and draw. You can also pan and or zoom your desktop screen using the Android device. You can easily switch your screen orientation between portrait and landscape by simply rotating your Android device.

iDisplay requires Android 2.2 and higher and supports 32-bit Windows XP, and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7. For users running Windows 7, Starter edition is not supported. For Mac users, it works on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and higher. Visit iDisplay for Android to download.
